More than two years into a global pandemic, we’ve all had to figure out new ways of living and working. For many, including myself, days of the week and months of the year have seemingly blended together into one continuous blur. I remember, just after COVID-19 hit, trying to find a way to navigate this absurdly strange time warp with one of my enduring passions: photography.
Please join us on June 21-22 at the BRAIN Initiative’s 8th annual meeting and help us build a dynamic and collaborative BRAIN research community through your attendance and symposia submissions.
Last month, members of the NIH BRAIN Initiative Neuroethics Working Group (NEWG) and Multi-Council Working Group (MCWG) discussed ethical challenges in implanted neural device research in humans, a new concept for funding, and more.
NIH issues Request for Information on Genomic Data Sharing Policy update by February 28th, 2022, as it strives to maintain balance between confidentiality and maximizing scientific advances from human genomic data.
Moving towards a new era of data sharing at NIH
The BRAIN Initiative® Alliance invites BRAIN scientists to share their tools with the scientific community via their new web form and has released the next issue of their Toolmakers Newsletter. These newsletters spotlight different BRAIN Initiative investigators with tools, technologies, and/or theories ready for distribution to the research community to advance neurotechnology.
The NIH BRAIN Initiative is hosting a Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) workshop online on March 1-2, 2022, from 1:00 pm – 5:30 p.m.
Earlier this year, the BRAIN Initiative Alliance provided a recap of 2021 achievements by BRAIN Initiative investigators. Highlights include developing new tools and platforms, establishing key collaborations, and gaining recognition for their contributions to neuroscience and neurotechnology.
A virtual Congressional Briefing today will feature a panel of speakers to share information on the necessity of brain donation.
Join us today for a virtual event that will bring together NIH BRAIN program staff, BRAIN-funded investigators, and others in the neuroscience community to discuss the latest advances in understanding the human brain, neuropsychiatric disorders, and behavioral processes as they relate to brain function.
The BRAIN Initiative® has recently launched an essay and video contest for high school students called the BRAIN Initiative Challenge 2.0, which seeks diverse perspectives on the ethics surrounding emerging brain technologies.
What would happen if humans could altogether stop the effects of aging on the brain? What if we could precisely map, record, and simulate the neural activity of memories? What if we could enhance brain function and intelligence?
